I also started with zero seeds and zero knowledge. I can't believe the number of seeds I have now. And all the different varieties. And learning about each one is fantastic. Not to mention growing them. Since I'm still waiting to find out where I'll be come spring I can't really make any plans so I probably won't have much of a veggie or annual garden this year even if I do end up with a yard. But I still keep swapping seeds and hoping for the best.

As they have runners and make new plants you are suppose to plant them over a row and get rid of older plants. That is what I read any how but DH wouldn't let me do it Because of my job and working nights I don't have enough time to tend to them. Dodge is right the birds are faster than you and get the best berries. WE put a net over them once, but it got a chipmunk caught in it and I was so upset. DH got him out though and then we did away with the net and let them have the berries. I am strong when I am on your shoulders, you raised me up to be more than I can be.

I remember the first attempt at picking seeds to swap.........I had no idea what were the seeds on anything.. Then I was afraid it was not correct.. So I had one lady try my seeds and tell me which ones germinates........ Then the 2nd year, I got braver and used 2 ladys.. I been on a farm all my life and never picked seeds till about 5 years ago.. The folks online taught me. So we will try again.. b PS... My horse isn't here, this is my Nitemare..

We moved here the day after Christmas 2004 I moved the daffodils in the spring of 2005. each year the green comes up healthy but smallish (well they are the right height but they are thin like they would be if they were young) & then I only get the green. While I may have planted them too close together, I do not think that is the case. I am having the same problem in the back with my surprise lillies..they too are coming up pretty & green, but then in the fall the "surprise" part (the flower) never shows.

I was asking if you had read that (and it was nice of you too look it up for me, so thanks) and thought I would should read it. I am going with the thought that they are young bulbs--(they were small when I dug them up) and I guess I/we would benefit if we fed out bulbs. somewhere I have some bone meal--I guess this spring I will give that a try--- because I really do not want to dig themup just yey. and it may just be the "clay soil" they are in--[perhpas I should try to address that in the spring as well. ________ Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!! .....
